Default Re: Calling allins and big flop bets with only Over pairs

I agree with the responses given. The only other idea would be to reraise the agro with the hopes of getting lots of your stack in and isolating him. But then you get into a tricky situation again where he will only call you on the flop if you are beat.

I find that unless you know your oponents very well, it's best to treat big pair hands as drawing hands, where you are hoping to flop top set. Otherwise you find yourself in many difficult decisions, where you are either a little ahead or way behind.

The exception to this rule is when you are able to get 2/3rds or so of your stack in preflop, which rarely happens unless you make the mistake of not reloading a short stack.
